At Builder Group (buildergroup.org), a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, we are deeply committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information when you visit our website, donate to our cause, volunteer, or interact with us in any other way.

By using our website, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information that you voluntarily provide to us, as well as information collected automatically when you use our website.

A. Personal Information You Provide

  • Contact Information: Name, email address, physical mailing address, and phone number (e.g., when you sign up for our newsletter, register for an event, or apply to volunteer).

  • Volunteer & Program Applications: Information regarding your skills, background checks (where applicable), and availability.

B. Information Collected Automatically

  • Log and Usage Data: We collect standard log file information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and the dates/times of your visits.
  • Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies to enhance your experience, analyze website traffic, and understand how users interact with our content. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to fulfill our non-profit mission, which includes:

  • Processing, tracking, and acknowledging your donations.

3. Our Commitment to Donor Privacy (Donor Bill of Rights)

We highly value our donors' trust. Builder Group strictly adheres to the following donor privacy standards:

  • No Selling or Renting: We will never sell, share, rent, or trade our donors' personal information (names, emails, physical addresses, or phone numbers) with any third party for their commercial marketing purposes.
  • No Mailings on Behalf of Others: We will not send donor mailings on behalf of other organizations.
  • Anonymity: Donors may request to remain anonymous in any public donor roll or annual report by contacting us directly.

4. Sharing Your Information

We only share your information with trusted third parties in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We share data with third-party vendors who perform services on our behalf (e.g., email newsletter delivery, web hosting, IT support). These partners are contractually obligated to keep your information confidential and secure.
  • Third-Party Payment Processors: Online donations are processed securely through encrypted third-party payment gateways (e.g., Stripe, PayPal). These processors have their own privacy policies governing your financial transactions.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental authority, or to protect the safety, rights, or property of Builder Group, our users, or the public.

5. Security of Your Information

We implement reasonable physical, technical, and administrative security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
